One of the most revered miraculous icons in the Orthodox Church is the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God, which, according to legend, appeared to people in 1383 near the city of Tikhvin. In 1560, the first stone of the Tikhvin Monastery was laid on the banks of the Tikhvinka River.
Day of celebration: July 9
History of the icon
It is believed that the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God was painted by the famous evangelist Luke. He presented the icon as a gift to Theophilus of Antioch, supplementing the gift with the text of the Gospel. After some time, the miraculous icon ended up in Byzantium. In Constantinople, the Blachernae Church was built for her, which amazes with its splendor. This church is one of the most significant in the history of Eastern Christians.
In 1383, the Tikhvin Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to people in Holy Rus'. According to legend, the holy image was carried by angels in their arms. So the icon was transported through the air from Byzantium. The first to see the miracle were the fishermen when the icon floated over Ladoga. As the legend about the appearance of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God says, believers and a priest came to the river bank in order to pray to the holy image. For sins, the icon left the Byzantine people, but appeared on the territory of Holy Rus' in the Orthodox Church.
In the place chosen by the Mother of God herself, a wooden Church of the Assumption was soon erected. After some time, it was replaced with a stone one, and now the Tikhvin Mother of God Assumption Monastery operates there, as it is not difficult to understand that in the city of Tikhvin there is an icon where believers can worship this image. During World War II, the icon ended up in a Riga church. The occupiers of the Tikhvin Monastery first sent her to Pskov and then took her to Riga. It was returned to Russian soil, to the city of Tikhvin, in 2004. In this regard, the church established the celebration of the return of the icon of the Tikhvin Mother of God in the Orthodox calendar.
Reading rules
The Akathist is read on the holiday, June 26, to glorify and sing the sacred image of the Mother of God. With the blessing of the priest, the text of praise is sometimes read for 40 days, every day. But for such work it is necessary to first consult with a priest. Some churches have a tradition of reading akathists every Sunday; perhaps it will be convenient for those who pray to join the church flock.
You can read the Akatista on your own, at your own request, if you feel a spiritual need or if there is no opportunity to communicate with a priest. There are no other special rules for reading songs. All requirements are the same as for other champions of this category of gymnography.
How does the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God help?
The Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God is considered the patroness of infants. Mothers whose children are sick, capricious and have trouble sleeping come to her.
That is why the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God is also called the Child-Giver, that is, she protects children, and also gives healthy children.
It is believed that it protects school-age children from bad influences; the Tikhvin icon helps them find their path in life and helps them make the right choice. The icon strengthens the spiritual connection between parents and children. People who want to find an answer to a question that torments them ask her for help. The icon of the Mother of God protects a person from deception and slander. Therefore, if difficulties arise with other people, many confessors advise taking the image of the Tikhvin Mother of God and praying in front of it in order to clarify the situation and understand how things really are.
The Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God has miraculous powers. It always appeared in sparsely populated lands where Christianity was not widespread.
She protected and protected people from disasters, wars and fires.
That is why the importance of the holy image of the Tikhvin icon in Orthodoxy is so great.
Miracle lists icons
The most interesting is the list of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God in Moscow, which was brought to the Assumption Cathedral back in the 17th century. At the very beginning of this century, the Swedes came to Novgorod, who wanted to conquer the city and people planned to flee from the monastery where the icon was. As soon as they wanted to move the image, it seemed to be chained to the ground and moving the seemingly not super-heavy icon turned out to be inaccessible to the inhabitants of the monastery. People understood the hint of lack of faith and remained in the city, in particular in the monastery.
The Swedes continued to attack the walls of the monastery, and the Tikhvin Icon helped the defenders and brought various images to the Swedes. They saw the army approaching from the direction of Moscow and also saw the Heavenly Army, which stood over the monastery. The invaders did not succeed, and over time, ambassadors arrived from Moscow who made a list of the holy image, which they sent to the capital, and thanks to this image they concluded a truce with the Swedes. In addition, in many cities there is a church of the Tikhvin Icon: Bryansk, Suzdal and many other cities.
